Installation
!
Before placing your new appliance into operation please read
these operating instructions carefully. They contain important
information for safe use, for installation and for care of the
appliance.
!
Please keep these operating instructions for future reference.
Pass them on to possible new owners of the appliance.
Positioning and connection
Positioning
1. Place the appliance in a well-ventilated humidity-free room.
2. Do not obstruct the rear fan grills. The compressor and
condenser give off heat and require good ventilation to
operate correctly and save energy.
3. Leave a space of at least 10 cm between the top part of
the appliance and any furniture above it, and at least 5 cm
between the sides and any furniture/side walls.
4. Ensure the appliance is away from any sources of heat (direct
sunlight, electric stove, etc.).
5. In order to maintain the correct distance between the
appliance and the wall behind it, fit the spacers supplied in
the installation kit, following the instructions provided.
Levelling
1. Install the appliance on a level and rigid floor.
2. If the floor is not perfectly horizontal, adjust the refrigerator by
tightening or loosening the front feet.
Electrical connections
After the appliance has been transported, carefully place it
vertically and wait at least 3 hours before connecting it to the
electricity mains. Before inserting the plug into the electrical
socket ensure the following:
• The appliance is earthed and the plug is compliant with the
law.
• The socket can withstand the maximum power of the
appliance, which is indicated on the data plate located on the
bottom left side of the fridge (e.g. 150 W).
• The voltage must be in the range between the values indicated
on the data plate located on the bottom left side (e.g. 220-240V).
• The socket is compatible with the plug of the appliance. If
the socket is incompatible with the plug, ask an authorised
technician to replace it (see Assistance). Do not use
extension cords or multiple sockets.
!
Once the appliance has been installed, the power supply cable
and the electrical socket must be easily accessible.
!
The cable must not be bent or compressed.
!
The cable must be checked regularly and replaced by
authorised technicians only (see Assistance).
! The manufacturer declines any liability should these safety
measures not be observed.
Start-up and use
Starting the appliance
!
After transportation of the appliance, carefully place it in an
upright position and wait at least 3 hours before connecting it to
the electricity mains, to make sure it operates as it should.
• Clean the inside of the refrigerator well using warm water and
bicarbonate of soda before placing food inside it.
• The appliance comes with a motor protection control system
which makes the compressor start approximately 8 minutes
after being switched on. The compressor also starts each
time the power supply is cut off whether voluntarily or
involuntarily (blackout).
Freezer Compartment
When the product is switched on the freezer compartment is
set to its default value of -18°C. We recommend that the SUPER
FREEZE function is set (the freezer status bar continues to display
the set value) in order to accelerate the cooling process of the
compartment; when the inside of the compartment has reached its
optimal temperature the function will be deactivated and the food
may be placed inside.
Refrigerator Compartment
When the appliance is switched on the refrigerator compartment
is set to its default value of +5°C. We recommend that the SUPER
COOL function is set (the refrigerator status bar continues to
display the set value) in order to accelerate the cooling process of
the compartment. After a few hours it will be cool enough for food
to be placed inside.
Navigating the display
Setting the temperatures:
If the product is switched on, the refrigerator and freezer status
bars will indicate the temperatures set at that moment. To change
them, simply press the - and + buttons corresponding to the
compartment for which you wish to change the set temperature.
More specifically, each time one of the buttons is pressed the
temperature is increased or decreased by 1°, and the level of
cold is adjusted accordingly.The temperature values that may be
selected for the refrigerator compartment are +12°C, +7°C, +6°C,
+5°C, +4°C, +3°C and +2°C, while the values that may be set
for the freezer are -18°C, -19°C, -120°C, -21°C, -22°C, -24°C and
-26°C.
The temperatures are automatically set to
+5
∞
C
for the refrigerator
compartment and
-18
∞
C
for the freezer compartment (these are
standard food storage values.
When the “
ECO
” function is active, the appliance automatically
adjusts the temperatures according to the conditions inside and
outside the refrigerator; the operation of this function is signalled by
the text “
AUTO
”.
Whenever it is necessary to activate the “
ECO
” function at
temperatures that are different to the standard storage values, the
“
ECO
” button must be pressed as soon as the function is activated
and held down while the new temperatures are set using the - and
+ buttons. Under these conditions, the temperatures may be set
to 4°C, 5°C and 6°C for the refrigerator compartment and -18°C,
-19°C and -20°C for the freezer compartment.
When the
HOLIDAY
function is active the temperature may not
be adjusted, however the appliance adjusts itself automatically so
that the optimal settings for the situation are used:
+12
°C
for the
refrigerator compartment and
-18
°C
for the freezer compartment.
This function is indicated by the text “AUTO”.
To activate and deactivate the functions simply press the
relevant button and the function status will be signalled by the
corresponding LED switching on or off.
Several functions (
SUPER COOL, SUPER FREEZE, BOTTLE
CHILL, ECO
) are incompatible with others (
HOLIDAY
,...);
remember that there is a pre-set order of priority which will help you
to use the product in the best possible way.
When the BOTTLE CHILL function has finished, press the BOTTLE
CHILL button to stop the corresponding LED from flashing and to
silence the sound signal. This flashing and sound signal indicates
that the function is complete and that the bottle should be removed
from the freezer compartment.
